T l all whom t may concern.'

Be it known that I, JACOB LrSHRoYER, a citizen of the United States, residing at Oak Park, in the county of Cook and State of Illinois, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Folding Receptacles, of which the following isa specification. i

The invention relates to improvements in folding receptaclesfor toilet use,.such for example as wash basins, and the like.

One of the objects of the invention is to provide an insertable yin-the-wall dressing case in connection with the wash basin.

Another object is to improve the appearance of the device when closed and its utility when open. v

Another object is to utilize the space in the frame by provision of a medical cabinet in the upper portion thereof and a cabinet for reception of shoes and the like in the bottom part and the provision of mirrors on the inside and outside of thedoors that close the main cabinet.

In many respects the device is generally similar to that disclosed in my Patent No. 1,317,829 granted to me October 7, 1919.

Other objects and advantages ofthe invention will readily appear from a consideration of the following description when taken in conjunction with the accompanying drawings, wherein Fig. 1 is an elevation of the device with the doors of the main cabinet closed.

Fig. 2 is a substantially central vertical section taken on line 2 2 of Fig. 1.

Fig. 3 is a view similar to Fig. 1 showing the doors open.

Fig. 4 is a fragmentary section taken on line 44 of Fig. 5.

Fig. 5 is a section taken on line 5-5 of Fig. 4.

Fig. 6 is a front elevation of twin faucets or bibbs.

Fig. 7 is a side elevation showing parts in section. y

In all the views the same reference char acters are employed to indicate similar parts..

The device is, preferably, self contained so that it may be completed in a shop and` inserted in an aperture made in the side wall of a room. v I n this respect it is similar to a structure disclosed in my copending application Serial No. 646,563; filed J une 20, 1923.

An outer frame 10 extends from` the base# board 11 to Vand around an ornamental panel 12 and below the panel at 13. The panel is made a part of the structure `for ornamental -f purposes only. y

Doors 14 and 15. are hinged tothe inside edge of the' vertical portions of the frame y10 at y16-,and swing outwardlyfon their hinges.

They are glazed at 17 in small glass, or. other panels. These doors when open serve as screens to protect the side wallsof the room against the splash resulting from use of waterinthe basin, besidesjserving other useful purposes hereinafter more specilically disclosed. l

In the lowerpart ofthe frame is suitablyl hinged an outwardly swingingbowl 19 supported by the hinge arrangement 20specifically described in my-copending application Serial No. 646,563, filed June 20, 1923. Each hinge consists of a trunnion 21 secured to the side of thebowl 1.9 and received in a horizontally elongated slot 22 made thruthe fixed plate 23. l

The arm 24, fixed cam plate 25 and spring 26 cooperate to cause the bowl to be moved outwardly as itv isswung on its hinge s upport Vfor a purpose more fully disclosed iny p the aforesaid application.

' Above the bowl 19, inside the frame, are

shelves 27 and 23 to receive and support toilet articles, hair brush and comb and the like. Above the shelves is a cabinet 29, the

back wall 30 of which is a part of the frame structure. This cabinet may be used as a medicine cabinet, or the like. The cabinet 29 is closed by a door 31 hinged to o ne side frame member at 32. The front of the door carries a mirror 33 which is to be used in connection with the wash bowl 19. 4

A lower cabinet 34 which may be used to contain shoes or the like is closable by the"- vertically slidable panel 35. The panel 35 may be raised onlywhen the doors 14 and 15 are open and thev bowl is folded in.

To water pipes 36 faucets or bibbs 37 are connected to deliver hot and cold` water into the bowl 19. A waste pipe 33 having aV trap 39 is connected to the hopper 40 under the bowl. The waste pipe passes thru a side opening in the frame 10 Vand is connected in a waste stack 41 and which is connected to a vent stack 42 by an upwardly inclined pipe 43.

The faucets 87-37 are connected together byV a` cross'- tube 4l to the center of which is a downwardly curved discharge spout 42. The rear parts of the hollow stems 43 are closed at 44 and each is provided with two aligning lateral perforations 45 and 46. In the perforation 45 is inserted `a pipe 47 closed at its air chamber to Vprevent water hammer.

the hot water supply and the other to the cold water supply and the cross tube 41 may serve as a mixing chamber between the two faucets. i i

Mirrors 44 and 45 on the` inside of the swinging doors are very effective in connection with mirror 83 for showing all sides of the upper portion of an observers body and claim as new and desire to secure by Letters l. A. *devicel of the character described comprising a cabinet divided into three vertically consecutive minor cabinets; a bowl located in the intermediate cabinet and arranged to swing outwardly therefrom; a pair of swinging doors to close the two upper cabinets and a sliding door to close the lower cabinet movable to open position when the swinging doors are open.

2. In a device of the character described, a cabinet, an outwardlyv swinging water receptacle hinged therein, a door hinged to each vertical member of the cabinet frame to close the upper part thereof and to conceal said receptacle, and a sliding door to close the lower part of said cabinet.

In testimony whereof I hereunto Aset my hand.

JACOB L. SHROYER.
